Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1035 Done in one go

Rhythm.

This is the core of this Kansas City Chiefs offense.

Although it was not a non-huddle offense, Mahomes' tactical arrangements, kick-off commands, and passing shots all maintained a high frequency.

It's obvious at first glance that this was a tactic arranged before the game. From Reid to Mahomes to Levi, each move is linked together, and the offense runs exceptionally smoothly.

However, will the Baltimore Ravens defense just sit there and wait for death?
of course not.

Taking advantage of the gap, Hubble also made quick adjustments.

First, the defensive front line must exert pressure. Even if Mahomes is quick, the pressure must be passed on to create a psychological impact.

Second, positional defense. Facing such a fast-paced offense, the zone defense often has gaps, and they must use positional defense to keep up with the rhythm.

After some deployment, the Kansas City Chiefs' offensive team was once again lined up on the 30-yard line.

Ten yards in one gear.

Mahomes prepares to kick off.

Just then, Levi moved.

Harbaugh's heart tightened, and Ferguson, the linebacker facing Levi, followed immediately; at the same time, another linebacker Judon hesitated for a moment but still followed suit.

Hubble: What was Reed thinking by choosing "Motion" at this time?
The so-called "Motion" literally means action, dynamics, and movement. In rugby games, it represents a tentative move.

Before the official kick-off, the offense and defense have already lined up. At this time, the offensive team's wide receiver or tight end may move across from the left side of the formation to the right side to test the defense's strategy in this way.

If a defender follows the move, it is man defense; if not, it is zone defense.

Of course, this was the original intention when the "Motion Tactics" was first created. With the development over the years, this tactic has spawned more possibilities.

Firstly, running backs may also enter the Motion Option, because more and more running backs are now joining the ranks of receivers.

Secondly, through the last-minute motion, he interferes with the defense's judgment and makes the offense prepare to change tactics. Then the quarterback adjusts the tactics according to the defense's response. Manning is undoubtedly the league's best quarterback at this smokescreen.

Third, rely on motion to create dislocations. For example, Hill is good at speed. By changing his position, the layout of the opposing defense can be disrupted, and Hill's speed advantage can be used to create gaps.

And so on and so forth.

However, in the NFL, Motion has many limitations.

Before the kick-off, only one player is allowed to move; if multiple players move at the same time, they must remain still for at least one second after they all stand still before the kick-off, otherwise it will be a foul.

In addition, players are not allowed to get close to the scrimmage line when moving, which means they are not allowed to move vertically forward; they can only move laterally, or retreat vertically away from the scrimmage line; if they get close to the scrimmage line, it is an illegal scrimmage, which is also a foul.

In recent years, the NFL has used "Motion" more and more frequently, and offensive coordinators often rely on such actions to gain the upper hand for themselves; similarly, the defensive team has been constantly improving and adjusting according to changes in the offensive team's "Motion" strategy, and the game between the two sides has entered a new level.

In the Kansas City Chiefs, Levi often played the role of "Motion" last season.

For example, at the last moment, he stepped forward and became a wide receiver, pretending to be a shotgun formation, but in fact it was a fake pass. Levi relied on running the ball to create damage in the gaps in the short pass area, and even disrupted the layout of the defensive team's short pass area, and then created gaps and completed a large number of advances.

Hubble is no stranger to this.

So the Baltimore Ravens used double-man defense, with Ferguson facing Levi, and another veteran linebacker, Judon, assisting Ferguson.

It seems that Reed has seen through this scene, so he deliberately used Levi's "Motion" to force Judon, who was hiding in the linebacker group, to expose himself.

Moreover, once Levi entered the "Motion", the tactics of the Kansas City Chiefs' entire offensive group became changeable, and Harbaugh immediately became alert.

Involuntarily, Hubble took a step forward, trying to pay attention to the details he had missed, but before his footsteps could land, Hubble took a breath.

Oh no! Hubble was stunned, stunned, and his scalp was numb.

In sight, Levi is moving.

Originally, Levi stood on the left side of Mahomes, and then went around Mahomes to the right side, still in the pistol formation, with Ferguson and Judon both starting.

Judon had to start because Levi's position had been completely changed. If he didn't move, he would not be able to assist Ferguson in completing the defense.

Unexpectedly, Levi did not stop and continued to move sideways, coming behind Kelsey, and the pistol formation evolved into a shotgun formation.

As a result, the Kansas City Chiefs have three wide receivers on the left wing and Kelce and Levi on the right wing. The power of the entire offensive formation is completely different.

However, this is still not the end.

Levi was actually still moving sideways.

Ferguson: ???

Judon: ???
Not to mention them, even Humphrey, who was confronting Kelsey, was confused.

Hubble: ???
At this point, just as Levi was moving laterally, Mahomes called the snap.

"attack!"

Without any warning, it came suddenly and instantly broke the balance, catching everyone off guard. Even the surprise and astonishment remained in their throats. Before they could even scream out, the situation on the field suddenly changed and Levi had already rushed out.

Literally.

Levi continued to move laterally, coming to the right side where Kelce and Humphrey were facing each other, a narrow passage close to the sideline, and at the moment Mahomes announced the kickoff, he turned 90 degrees, sprinted at a right angle, and his figure turned into a red light, and instantly crossed the kickoff line and rushed out.

While moving sideways, Levi was slowly accelerating, and he exploded at such a speed in an instant, killing everyone by surprise.

Humphrey had no time to react: Who am I, where am I, and what am I doing?
The next second, Kelsey rushed over and hit him in the chest. Humphrey felt dizzy and couldn't find Levi at all.

Although Humphrey didn't know what was going on, a sense of foreboding came over him.

Despite the panic, the Baltimore Ravens still acted according to the plan, defending each player and blocking their positions one by one, so as to respond to changes with the same strategy. No matter what tricks the Kansas City Chiefs played, they were ready.

There is pressure from the front line and Levi has two people guarding him. Is there any problem?

should not.

However, in a split second, before Hubble could even react, the situation on the field had changed dramatically.

But see.

In the pocket, Mahomes only took three steps back, not giving the defensive line time to continue to put pressure on the ball, continuing the high-frequency rhythm of this wave of offense, and the pass was already made.

Fast. Accurate. Ruthless.

Before the defensive team's pressure touched the quarterback, the football had already drawn an arc in the air, passed over the head, and flew lightly.

A pass in such a short time cannot possibly be a medium pass or a long pass, it can only be a short pass.

But in the short pass area, the Baltimore Ravens are heavily armed and matched one by one. Who will Mahomes pass to?

Levi.

Moreover, with no one guarding him, he easily caught the football in an empty space in a no-man's land.

All in one go!
